World Cup 2022: Lukaku, Hazard Make Belgium’s 26 Man Squad for Qatar

Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku has made the final 26-man Belgium's squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar even though he has only played five games so far this season in Italy.

This year's prestigious competition will be starting on November 20 with France preparing to defend the title they won four years ago in Russia.

Lukaku is carrying a left injury and Belgium coach Roberto Martinez stated that he is ready to have fate in the former Manchester United striker even if it will be only one game he will play in the group stage.

Lukaku missed two months at the start of the season with a hamstring injury and then hurt his thigh two games into his comeback for Inter.

In goal, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will be leading Koen Casteels and Simon Mignolet to Qatar.

Previously, Ziyech fell out with former coach Vahid Halilhodzic and announced his international retirement in February.

Halilhodzic had said his reason for dropping Ziyech was that the winger faked an injury and displayed 'unacceptable behaviour'. However, the new manager has recalled him.
